Finally something I can address with authority and passion. The answer is unquestionably Cheezits. It was one of my college staples when I couldn't get a real meal (which meant slice of pizza, falafel or burrito). Always had a giant box of them. They are also excellent in place of breadcrumbs on macaroni and cheese. Cheese nips are not nearly cheesy enough...very disappointing and not worth the bother.

Both are good and I like them equally well. But for some reason, Cheez-Its are more expensive than Cheese Nips. Thus, Cheese Nips are the better value for essentially the same thing.

Really? I think they taste very different, that is, one tastes good (not great) and the other tastes terrible. I forget which is which but based on the voting here I think the ones that come in White Cheddar (Cheez- Its) tastes better.
